Elliot Randall & The Deadmen released their sophomore album, "Caffeine & Gasoline" in February of 2010. Just weeks later, they found themselves in the top 30 on the Americana Airplay charts, where they remained for seventeen weeks. The album was also listed at #33 on the Americana Music Association's Top 100 Albums of 2010.
"Caffeine & Gasoline" features a collection of songs that blend three-part harmonies with outlaw country, rock and the band's own brand of rhythm & blues. The album was recorded and produced at Mission Bells Studio in San Francisco by David Simon-Baker (ALO, Jackie Greene, The Mother Hips) and Randall. It features Randall's core band, The Deadmen - Kyle Caprista (drums,vocals), James Deprato (guitars,banjo,mandolin) and Danilo Lopez (bass, vocals), and a special guest appearance by Jackie Greene on keys. "Caffeine & Gasoline" builds on the strengths that were characteristic of Randall's debut - "a sweet voice, a keen eye, a deft hand with lyrics, and a great command of production dynamics." (Jessie Scott, MusicFog)
"Elliot Randall is a country singer-songwriter who doesn’t sound like he should be from San Francisco. His music has an authentic feel, with lyrics that recall Waylon and Willie, along with the darker Merle and even the offbeat Dwight Yoakum, all coupled with the pop sensibilities of The Eagles." (Berkeley Place, 2010)

Americana Roots Radio
"I love this kid. From the first time I heard his music I was moved. His beautiful, almost haunting songs led me to believe he was much older than twenty-six..."
Renee Richardson, Morning Show DJ/KFOG Local Scene - KFOG 104.5 FM
"[A band] that flies below the radar but could take off at any minute... A little bit country, a little bit Elliot Smith...Randall is a strong songwriter and performer"
Brad Kava - San Jose Mercury News
"Randall's superb release "Take The Fall"....straddles the country and rock worlds proficiently and his work sounds both timeless and fresh."
Twang Nation
"KFOG gets it right. From the off, this album grabs you and doesn’t let go. It’s powerful, melodic, sublime and utterly delicious...Randall can make you soar, contemplate and pull at your heartstrings – all at the same time."
Phil Edwards - Americana UK
"Take the Fall is, easily, one of the best independent releases of 2007...Every one of the 10 tracks on this album is a winner. This young man from San Francisco is one to watch."
Jeff Weiss - Miles Of Music
